Q: Where should I avoid using a dehumidifier?

• <div><p>One handy thing about whole-house dehumidifiers is, once installed, you don&rsquo;t have to worry about placement or changing the dehumidifier&rsquo;s position. But if you are using a portable dehumidifier, we suggest keeping it away from walls, vents, and furniture. It needs a central, unobstructed spot with access to lots of air to do its job.</p></div>

Q: Should I close my crawl space vents in winter?

• <div><p>In most climates, contractors recommend closing your crawl space vents in winter. Keeping them shut protects your crawl space from freezing temperatures, pests, and cool breezes that can lead to chilly floors in your home. However, it's often best to speak with a local crawl space team about your specific design and its relationship to the winter season.</p></div>

Q: Can I convert a basement into a game room, and what are the challenges?

• <div><p>Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.</p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover slab leaks?

• <div><p>Your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-homeowners-insurance-cover-slab-leak-repair.htm">homeowners insurance can cover slab leak repairs</a>, but it really depends on your policy. Some homeowners insurance policies only cover slab leaks caused by natural disasters, while other plans are more comprehensive. You might also want to check your home warranty plan to see if they'll cover the cost of the repairs if one of your appliances caused the leak.</p></div>

Q: Can you over dehumidify a house?

• <div><p>Yes, you can over dehumidify your house. While you may prefer a dryer climate inside, the elimination of too much moisture in the air can lead to an extremely dry environment that can affect those with respiratory and skin issues. Strike a balance between eliminating excess moisture without making your home feel like a desert. Most modern thermostats show the humidity levels for guidance.</p></div>
